(Workmen with Picks)
1916–1918

Illustration of two sailors working on a boat with one in the foreground pulling a rope and the other in the background steering. The scene is depicted with vibrant colors and a focus on the intense expressions and muscular forms of the sailors, set against a backdrop of blue water and a clear sky with sail masts rising above. The artwork is incomplete, with some areas left in sketch form, and is mounted on a larger sheet of paper.
